Rebirth of the Rising Sun

"Haha, if the matter doesn't work at the secretary's office meeting, just bring it up at the Standing Committee. As long as it's in the Standing Committee, Secretary Sun just needs to remain neutral, and I will handle the rest." Feng Sizhe saw that Sun Shicun was deliberately speaking out, so he laughed. He didn't want to embarrass Sun Shicun too much about this matter. After all, this was not a glorious thing.

After looking at the photo and the information next to it, Sun Shicun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree to help you this time, but these photos..."

"Secretary Sun, don't worry. The negatives of these photos will be delivered to you later. I promise not to keep a single one." Feng Sizhe also breathed a sigh of relief. Facing this incident, he had to use some shady means, but there was no other way. Besides, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If Sun Shicun was really a decent person, I'm afraid Feng Sizhe would not find the opportunity to do so even if he wanted to.

In this way, Sun Shicun and Feng Sizhe reached some kind of temporary agreement. Then, shortly after County Mayor Feng left Secretary Sun's office, Cui Yan, director of the county party committee office, called all the standing committee members and said that a county party committee standing committee meeting would be held in the afternoon to discuss and vote on some personnel issues.

The news reached the ears of He Zhuhua, the deputy secretary of the county party committee, and he was shocked. As for the personnel issue, as far as he knew, there seemed to be no personnel investigation plan in the near future. If there was any, it would only be the list submitted by Feng Sizhe. Could it be that they were going to discuss the list that Feng Sizhe applied for?

What a great guy Feng Sizhe is. He actually bypassed me and reported directly to the county party secretary. It seems that he doesn't take me seriously.

Since He Zhuhua became the deputy secretary of the county party committee, his temper has gradually increased. In his opinion, he is the third person in the county party committee, so naturally others should respect him. This Feng Sizhe actually bypassed him and went directly to the county party secretary. This is a manifestation of not taking himself seriously. If he does not take this incident to kill him properly, then who will take him seriously in the future? For this reason, he must get an explanation for this matter. At least he must give Feng Sizhe a warning and block his plan. In this way, he can also let others know that the deputy secretary in charge of personnel is not a decoration. If you offend me, you will naturally have a bad end.

Thinking of this, He Zhuhua stood up and wanted to go straight to Secretary Sun's office, but after hesitating for a moment, he went to County Magistrate Fang's office on the second floor.

He Zhuhua and Sun Shicun had an ordinary relationship, not a good one. What was he going to say to the secretary at this time? Was he going to call him to task? It seemed that he did not have the power to do so.

He Zhuhua went to Fang Xianzhi's office. Qi Hengsan, who also received the news, immediately went to the office of Deputy Secretary and Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission Yang Chao. Obviously, they also wanted to do something about this matter to embarrass Feng Sizhe.

In comparison, the protagonist Feng Sizhe was very calm. After returning to the office, he only made two phone calls, and then sat there with his eyes closed, thinking. He was thinking about the scenes that might occur at the afternoon Standing Committee meeting.

As soon as the afternoon work started, the atmosphere in the county party committee building became a little depressing. Perhaps it was because everyone knew that it was not the right time for Feng Sizhe, who seemed to have made a mistake, to apply for a personnel adjustment. Many people were waiting to see the result, to see how the usually invincible Feng Sizhe would be frustrated this time, and how to break his undefeated record.

As soon as the time for the Standing Committee meeting arrived, Feng Sizhe walked slowly into the small conference room on the third floor with a very leisurely pace.

After a while, as the county party secretary Sun Shicun moved forward, all thirteen members of the county party standing committee arrived and the meeting began.

Sun Shicun just started and nodded to Li Yi Ge, and then Li Yi Ge publicly read out the personnel investigation list that Feng Sizhe requested.

"Today's topic is personnel investigation. Some comrades have proposed that Zhang Biao, director of the County Agriculture Bureau, be appointed as the mayor of Shisanli Town, and Comrade Zhu Dongnong, deputy director of the Agriculture Bureau, be appointed as the director. Comrade Qi Hengquan, mayor of Huodian Township, is suspended from his post due to serious violations of discipline and is under investigation by the County Commission for Discipline Inspection. Mayor Liu Yong of Shisanli Town will be appointed as the secretary of the Huodian Township Committee, and Deputy Township Chief Chen Fei will be appointed as the mayor of Huodian Township. Please give your opinions on the above issues." Li Yi Ge stood up and spoke in a businesslike manner while holding a piece of printed paper.

Li Yi Ge's opening words told everyone what the theme of today's Standing Committee meeting was. Everyone had some guesses before, and seeing that they were indeed going to discuss the personnel proposal submitted by County Magistrate Feng, everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other. Apparently, some people thought that Feng Sizhe shouldn't be in the spotlight at this time.

"Minister Li, as the deputy secretary of the county party committee, why don't I know about this?" He Zhuhua came to a conclusion when discussing with Fang Xianzhi, that is, they must use this opportunity today to put a stop to Feng Sizhe's limelight. Fang Xianzhi even guessed that Secretary Yang Chao and Minister Qi Hengsan, who were localists, would also be opposed. Therefore, they were definitely not fighting alone today, and it was very likely that they would greatly lose face for Feng Sizhe.

With these foundations and preparations, He Zhuhua started to fire, but he chose to attack Li Yige first, obviously to take the opportunity to tell Secretary Sun Shicun that even if you are the county party secretary, you should at least say hello to me, the deputy secretary in charge of personnel, when it comes to personnel issues. Now you want to hold a meeting without saying anything, so of course I will be dissatisfied.

When He Zhuhua said this, Sun Shicun's face wrinkled, and he was obviously unhappy. As for Li Yige, who was directly criticized by He Zhuhua, his face darkened, "Secretary He, I don't understand what you said. I have reported the issue of this personnel adjustment to you for at least half a month, but you have not responded. I thought Secretary He approved it."

Indeed, from a certain perspective, keeping silent is a sign of consent, and Li Yi Ge’s understanding is not wrong.

Originally, He Zhuhua wanted to make trouble for Li Yi'ge in order to teach Sun Shicun a lesson, because everyone seemed to know that this Organization Minister was Secretary Sun's man. However, he did not expect that Li Yi'ge would talk him back with just a few words.

Fortunately, his target was not Li Yige, he just wanted to use him to warn him. Seeing that it was difficult to talk here, He Zhuhua turned his eyes to Feng Sizhe and said, "Well, I have indeed read this report and conducted an investigation. In my opinion, the problem of Qi Hengquan, the head of Huodian Township, is not serious. He just drank too much and happened to be met by County Magistrate Feng. If you say that you can take down a township head just because of this, is it justifiable? What will other comrades think? Oh, people who do revolutionary work can't even drink alcohol?"

He Zhuhua was also smart. He knew that even if he took advantage of Li Yi Ge, it would not be considered a victory. Only by suppressing Feng Sizhe's arrogance could it be considered a victory. So he aimed his fire at Feng Sizhe. He wanted to be the first huge stone in County Magistrate Feng's way forward. He wanted to let others see that County Magistrate Feng was not invincible.

"Qi Hengquan's problems are not just about drinking during working hours this time, but also about abusing his power to embezzle relief funds. Because this aspect concerns more comrades, my Discipline Inspection Commission has not announced it for the time being. Of course, if Secretary He feels it is necessary, I can go back to the office right away and sort out the relevant materials. However, in this way, other comrades involved will also have to be pursued this time." When Wu Guangrong, deputy secretary of the county party committee and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, heard the mention of Qi Hengquan's problem, he answered He Zhuhua's question on behalf of Feng Sizhe.

When he heard that other leading cadres would be involved, Qi Hengsan's face changed immediately. He knew very well whether Qi Hengquan had embezzled the state's relief funds. He was very clear and understood the matter. Now that he saw that the matter was not in his favor, he quickly interrupted and said, "Well, the flood hit, and the whole village was busy. However, Qi Hengquan, as the head of the village, ignored the overall situation and drank alcohol. I think he can be arrested based on this reason, and there is no need for any other reasons."

Qi Hengsan was afraid that Wu Guangrong would involve himself if he continued talking, so he quickly stood up and said that he supported Qi Hengquan being arrested and there was no need to delve into the issue any further.

But Qi Hengsan wanted to let it go, Wu Guangrong did not mean to end it. "Hey, Minister Qi, please don't say that. Since Secretary He doesn't understand, I think I need to make the problem clear in order to resolve this knot. So everyone wait for me, I will come back to the office."

"No, no, today we are discussing personnel issues, not other things, I don't think it's necessary. Hehe." Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Yang Chao saw that Wu Guangrong seemed to really want to take the opportunity to expose something, so he said no. This attitude is similar to Qi Hengsan, so it goes without saying that he must have had a hand in the issue of embezzling state relief funds.

"Oh, since even Secretary Yang has said so, I'll put it aside for now. But having said that, if necessary, I will still raise some issues at this meeting. This is also my power as the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission." Wu Guangrong said with a straight face.

Well, just this one sentence immediately made Yang Chao and Qi Hengsan's faces break out in sweat. They were not stupid, they all heard that Wu Guangrong was taking the opportunity to talk about something. His purpose was to tell Yang Chao and Qi Hengsan, the local people of Dahu County, that they'd better be careful with their words, otherwise if they annoy me, I can't guarantee that I will do anything wrong.
